Hi, Readers!
I’m aging myself by saying this, but the Internet was born my freshman year in college. I remember how… weird… it felt to suddenly have instant access to so much information. Little did I know then that technology would play a huge part in my life, as part of my career path has involved developing digitally-focused brand communications campaigns and platforms. It’s not lost on me that most of us turn to the all knowing Google to seek out information. That’s why I’ve be
en working on beefing up my online presence. I still am working on it, and frankly, could use help — are you a digital marketing whiz that can give me a call? — Anyhoooo….
When Andrew called me, he said he found me online and was impressed with my Zillow reviews. He was in the process of relocating to Portland from Montana (we had that in common – I used to live in Whitefish back in my TV news days). He was a creative marketer, who leads growth at Moment. He is Dad to 2 boys (same! Well, I’m a Mom), and he and his wife Lisa love modern clean design, houseplants and color. (ME TOOOOOO)
I saw a home came up in the Sunlight Holding Company. After texting dead emojis back and forth to Andrew and Lisa, I literally turned my car around as I was pulling into my driveway to get us inside. Little did I know that Lisa had considered living in a commune after college. This little village sits in the trees and is Portland’s oldest co-housing community. The distinct designs let the light in, and have clever layouts that maximize space.
We scooped it up and went pending the first day on the market. I created a rapport with the listing agent, Lisa and Andrew offered what the sellers needed to see, and… through some sleuthing online, the buyers learned about Andrew’s company and left out a lens cover that Moment makes as a sign of solidarity. Ahhh… I love it when the Universe does this. Or, in this case, was it the Internet? At any rate, I’m grateful. If you have questions about design, houseplants, color, brands, Montana, real estate, or just want a good cup of coffee, I hope you reach out.
Till then, high fives!
